Buying a car!

Well, we are truely blessed!!!

My mum and dad had some money "left over" from tax return and decided to give us for our birthdays a "new" old car!!!! Presently it is very difficult to get second hand cars in our price category, but after a lot of looking around on my dad's side, today we found one at an Aramean car dealer's shop. Dad had seen a Mazda there which we wanted to check out. But we all didn't feel a "yes" about the Japanese car, but there was this bottle green 10 year old Peugeot station wagon (yes, a little family carrier, but lets face it, soon we are a family of 4). We looked around it, under it in it.... and somehow the Frenchy grew in our affections (NO one in my family EVER had a French car, but well, there has to be a first some time:o)) ). And after a test drive and after Ned sat in the car and didn't want to get out of it again, we decided to go for it. So now we are the proud owers of Frenchy... theoretically at least. Dad did sign a contract, BUT neither have we paid any money nor do we actually possess the car. On Monday Frenchy will have to face the "TÜV", a safety/environmental check that cars need to have every two years, and after that the dealer will call dad so that he can register the car, so that we can drive it officially on the road... YAY!!!! It is also very beneficial to bring along a cute little boy (aka Ned), he managed to "relieve" the dealer from a nice buttered brezel as well as a whole block of chocolate.... and the dealer was very happy to be relieved by such a cute little guy :o)))
